Synchro. Any standard synchro archetype that is normal is very good as far as non-meta goes.

Remember that this does not include the meta synchro decks, such as Fire Fist Synchro.

Xyz. Normal non-meta xyz archetypes are similarly good.

This also doesn't include things like Hieratic.

Tier 2

Timelords. If you want to see this deck in action, DUEL ME.

Aliens. Again, duel me to see them in action. Easily spams fieldafter a little bit of setup.

Synchro +. This is where you add plaguespreader or Emergency Teleport or even Malicious to another build. I have a pretty good Hero Synchro deck.

Infernity. What do I have to say? Can push for game AND control field. But they kind of need both and most decks have mainly monsters or mainly control. Inconsistancy is why they are not t1. The consistant builds have shortages of necessary monsters, such as running only 2 Stygian Street Patrol.

Considering taking this off of list. Too much talk about it being meta.

yeah definitely firefist will be on top especially with bear and gorilla, lightsworns will always be broken but JD is not the worry, the worry would be lightrays and such...JD if it comes out by itself there is always roach...where as light trays you can spam the field and they cant keep up with the special summons. Lightsworns arent exactly a suprise deck and you know what deck they're running from the beginning and so you know to keep your anti-specials close. but yes madolches wont be able to overcome them either

there is always the possibility of one of the madolche people to be running pudding and when they do...you can always lance jd and destroy him with madolche pudding with another field and empty grave

Well...Lightrays aren't quite as good as JD and you still special summon them. Madolche is the kind of deck that is fairly fast but the duel is based on the speed war.So I think Tier 2 is good enough for them. I really want a mod or something to come and ask. What I really want opinions on is what ISN'T there. Any decks left out? Please tell me and I will update the list.

Infernities have won a lotta tournaments in my area and so have aliens so...to be honest I see them as tier 2 and 3 meta and lightsworns get so much use on DN I kinda see them as meta also and firefist...I always lose to 4 axis firefist in war duels so yeah I don't know about meta but it counters me well.

OK, by meta I mean on the official tier list. When that one gets an update, this gets an update. Alright? And infernities are good but the t1s and t2s are able to do well against meta. T3 is for good decks but they would barely ever beat meta.

Wow dude this tier list seems incredibly biased. Infernity should easily be tier 1 on this list, as it was able to top in a format dominated by dragons multiple times. Madolches also topped.. Guess what lightsworn variants did absolutely nothing. If we are calling firefist a non meta deck Mermail and Constellars should also be on this list.

Also please post ur infernity deck build, and i will tell u why its so inconsistent.

Wow. Fire Fists are not on the official tier lists. Mermails and constellars are meta. I am updating the list. Infernities get boost to t2. Infernity's problem is that it requires control over the field with ST and monsters. Pretty much all infernity decks have cards mainly on one or the other.

Now i see where u are getting your inforomation from. this is the definition of meta i will use Metagame refers to the Deck(s) in current competitive use that are having the greatest success. First off Dragon rulers arent even listed as tier 1. 2nd prophecy is listed as tier 2 when they clearly were dominant and were on the same level as dragon rulers. This tier list is clearly a joke and u should base this list off of something else. here is an outdated one but is still better than the one u r using. http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=1147106

And I always stick to the Wikia list. If a dumb deck topped because it got lucky, then would it be meta? I like a solid list for meta. Save your comments about "the wrong tier list" or about "this deck is better." Don't make any comments about a deck being meta without looking at the Wikia list.

Please make comments about decks that should be in a different place on this lst or on/off this list, but justify your opinion well.

You were looking off the recently added section, the January section, before the January banlist. SHUT UP if you refuse to pay any attention to logic.

It isn't all meta. I know it sounds wierd but it is a tier list for nonmeta because it is like best deck that isn't known to be the best deck. LOOK AT THE WIKIA LIST!!! I trust Wikia. Alright, I'l take Infernity off. But tht is the oly real meta thing here. Synchro is like Fabled and Quasar Synchrons and such and Xyz is GaGaGa and Heraldic Beasts and such. When you think about it this way, there really isn't much meta. I don't even consider Infernity meta.

Please...don't torture me like this. Don't. You're telling me Noble Knights, a deck I am currently 4-0 against with friends, and have not ONCE seen in Rated (I'm dead serious, not once), is better than Mermails, better than Infernities, better than Blackwings, better than Dark Worlds, and better than Lightsworn? Please, spare me the agony of you trying to argue that point, I'd rather drag myself through hell while listening to the Devil chant curses at me in Arabic than watch you do that.

For Prince, trust me, I can vouch for his Chain Beat. They scare me more than Dragon Rulers in the March 2013 format. .-.
